Unlike rye-heavy bourbons that deliver spicy bite, this wheated expression provides creamy sweetness with oak undertones and a pleasantly lingering finish that balances sweetness with subtle spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow should I drink James Wheated Bourbon?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bourbon shines when sipped neat or with a splash of mountain spring water to open up its wheat-forward character. At 100 proof, it has enough backbone for premium cocktails like Boulevardiers or Whiskey Sours, while remaining smooth enough for contemplative neat pours by the fireplace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs James Wheated Bourbon good for cocktails?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the 100 proof strength and sweet wheat character make it excellent for cocktails where you want bourbon flavor without aggressive spice. The natural sweetness from the wheated mash bill reduces the need for simple syrup in many recipes, while the proof ensures the bourbon character doesn't disappear behind mixers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat makes wheated bourbon different from regular bourbon?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWheated bourbon replaces the traditional rye grain with wheat as the flavoring grain, creating a softer, sweeter, and more approachable flavor profile. Where rye delivers spicy pepper notes, wheat contributes creamy sweetness and vanilla character, making wheated bourbons like James naturally smoother and more mellow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is similar to James Wheated Bourbon?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFans of Maker's Mark, Larceny, or Weller bourbons will appreciate James' wheated character, though James offers the unique perspective of Colorado blending and bottling. Like other wheated bourbons, it emphasizes sweetness and smoothness over the spicy complexity of high-rye expressions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eYou must be 21 years of age or older to purchase this product.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"James","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43354753794122,"sku":"JWBW100PSB","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0670\/6095\/7258\/files\/front_5fb8baf9-560c-4e56-9ab7-f6ec7c73c927.jpg?v=1772471178","url":"https:\/\/theoldrickhouse.com\/products\/james-wheated-bourbon-whiskey-100-proof-small-batch","provider":"The Old Rickhouse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
